    Third party candidates are unfortunately not an option, and you know they aren’t. You and people like you are either arguing in bad faith, or you’re too disconnected with reality to know that you’re arguing in bad faith. By throwing your vote away with a third party, you are playing directly into the Republican’s playbook.

    Congrats, you’re Trump’s tool.

    the Uncommitted National Movement—which is critical of U.S. support for Israel's annihilation of Gaza—announced last month that "Harris' unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy or to even make a clear campaign statement in support of upholding existing U.S. and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her."

    Uncommitted also made clear that it "opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gazawhile intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing," and "is not recommending a third-party vote in the presidential election, especially as third-party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our country's broken Electoral College system."

    Okay, so what are these people recommending then? I’m trying to be generous, but they sound like fucking idiots.

    I think you’re presenting a terribly myopic viewpoint. A lot of companies make the process of interacting with them so painful if you don’t use their app, that you feel hounded, harassed, and yeah, in some cases, forced to use their app. Do you really think your idea here hasn’t been considered by the author? Of course it has, because like most older people (in their 30s and 40s), that’s how it always used to be. The author is complaining that the way it is today, it can be difficult or borderline impossible to do the very thing you seem confused about.

    He gave an expansive answer at the start that included describing himself as getting caught up in rhetoric, then gave the simpler answer when asked again.

    The situation escalated further Monday when Israeli special forces moved across the border, targeting Hezbollah’s tunnel network and other command centers, another U.S. official told POLITICO.

    If it were strictly this, then I would support that. But they haven’t shown any interest in avoiding civilian casualties. I haven’t seen any reporting that contradicts this stated goal as it relates to what they’re attacking in Lebanon. The US and IDF claim they’re going after Hezbollah tunnels and command centers, do civilians live in those places as well? Is this going to be like what’s happening in Gaza, or are they really only hitting terrorist targets? Anyone have any links to further reporting on that?

    Thanks for the tip, can you please let me know where you're seeing that? What are you doing to obtain that link, and would you mind checking again?

    The Lemmy documentation has some gaps, it seems.

    Brand new instance dedicated to gardening, check it out! Could probably create some communities there specific to flowers, vegetables, etc. They could use some help getting users and getting federated--which will only help Lemmy overall, as lemmy.ml and beehaw.org are getting killed at the moment.
